I would love to start or get involved with our NoobToob gaming community. I am currently a student and I only have my PC, no consoles at this point in time. If anyone who reads this is a regular or irregular PC gamer then please leave a post down below. I play a number of different genres and multiple games under these subsections and also have access to a couple of Teamspeak servers. Looking forward to hearing from the community.

I chose purposely to eschew Castlevania for not really being an authentic horror game in its current form. For that same reason, Bioshock was left off this poll. I also stayed away from simply thinking zombies=horror. Vote and discuss!

I was reminiscing about PAX 2008, and I was curious if the forums were still going, and to my pleasant surprise here they still are!

I'm not sure how many of the veterans are still about, but hopefully there are still some familiar faces here :) I never posted massively often, but the PAX 2008 NooBTooB Meetup will always be one of my favourite memories from back then - you can't beat taking over the gaming room with Kickle Cubicle!

For those of you that were at PAX 2008, me and hbk619 were the two uk girls that tagged along :) To refresh your memories, here's one of the only pics I could find from back then (who needs elegant and flattering pictures anyway! xD I'm still just as tiny, still waiting for that growth spurt!):

What are you guys all up to nowadays? I've spent the years working and studying, but now my health has made me take a step back and rest for a while, I figure what better time to get stuck back into gaming! :D

In other news I started playing Destiny a few months ago (was a bit late to the party, I started playing as the current expansion was getting old), and finally got myself a Gjallarhorn woo! pvping til silly hours pays off apparently xD

Mon, 29 Sep 2014 16:13:51 +1000DRUMMZ7924842@/forum/discussionsWow. I finally remembered my password for this site and I haven't been this excited to jump back into a community for awhile now. NoobToob was my where I got my start in the gaming forums and I've met a few good buddies from here too (looking at you, Justin and Sean!).

For those of you who don't know or remember, my name is Rich and NT really inspired me to talk about video games and share my thoughts through various sites and mediums. I started browsing these forums a good 6-7 years back and immediately fell in love with the community. I can't wait to jump back into NT and I hope I run into some old faces as well.

YOW!

Thu, 04 Sep 2014 05:57:45 +1000JSl824811@/forum/discussions I'm now living in NYC post-college and currently have been playing Borderlands 2 and patiently awaiting Destiny. Even getting an Xbox One in October so some gaming community is much needed.I'm not sure exactly where I fit into your tight-knit and enduring community other than the fact I fully enjoy games from their most simple entertainment characteristics down to their deep aesthetic art forms.

Finally want to end this with a question:

What was the biggest noobtoob event/discussion/happening to take place since 2010? Update me!

Took a slight break from gaming but a mixture of Destiny and the Ratchet & Clank collection has me fiending for that hit.

Am I the only one ready to kill someone for a copy of Metal Gear Solid V?

Anyone welcome to add my PSN: akabuckets21

Games are given their own news thread upon their announcement to discuss your hopes for the game. Then, a week before the game is released, a new thread will open up in Game Discussion, and the thread in News Thread will be locked. This is in order to keep pre-release news in it's own section, and after-thoughts and actual info on the game in another section.

The New Game Releases have their own thread in this section as well. Any game being released in the next week will be seen here. Tell us what game you are excited for, and what games you plan on picking up! Also the Officially unofficial gaming deals thread is present here as well.

Game Reviews-Play a game and want other members to know your opinion on it? Write a full-review giving us every detail about your experience with that game. Pictures, sub-headings, videos, and a thumbs-up/thumbs-down rating are only a few of the things that make a review stand out!

As well as the general UGC, The NoobToob Modcast is in this section for listening as well. This is an additional podcast created by 4 lovely gentleman from the forums. Sunflower, Locke, Gravehound, and JamEnslaver. It is a weekly podcast where they talk about what they have been playing, Gaming News, and answer questions straight from the listeners!

Off-Topic Discussion-This section, for the most part, is for anything that you want to post, or are curious about, that doesn't really fit anywhere else. Random threads, thoughts, ideas, etc. are all created and posted in this section.

Hall of Fame-This section is solely for archiving the greatest threads, that want to be remembered for the ages, and not lost with any clutter from the forums. Things like Post Your Face, Listener Homework, Old Contests, Votes, etc. all have their place in this section.

What are Noobies?Noobies are rewards given to members, from other members for doing something unique on NoobToob. Great posts, threads, reviews, UGC, etc. are all worthy things to give noobies for.

How do I get a Noobie?A Noobie must be given to you from another member. Reasons for this are listed above.

Why can't I give Noobies?You must have at least one noobie in order to give one. If you have one noobie, then just click on the "Give Noobie" button on the bottom right of the post page, and type your reason why you are giving a noobie. Click submit and your noobie will be given.

Will I lose a Noobie for giving one out?No you will not. You can only gain noobies. Never lose them.

Why was my thread locked?There are various reasons that your thread might have been locked. Some of them include not following the Forum rules and guidelines, posting a thread that already exists, or repeatedly posting the same thing, when you have been told not to.

Why did a moderator just "yell" at me?This is a friendly place. Most things done on the forums are only to better the community. If you are told not to do something, it is most likely because you are breaking a Forum Rule or Guideline. If you have a problem with being told against doing something, kindly send a private message to one of the Forum Moderators, and handle it that way.

What is a Private Message?A private message is a message sent privately between you and another user. Only the two of you can see this message, thus making it private. You can send pm's on the bottom of the post page, or additionally by clicking the inbox link at the top of the page, and typing in the user you want to send a message to.

I want more than just the weekly dose of NoobToob episodes! What else can I listen to?This is when our UGC section comes in handy. Tons of content is provided here, including but not limited to The NoobToob Modcast, Comcast, Let's Play, First Impressions, Reviewcast, Turbo Interview Jamboree, Gaming on a Budget, and more! Search around, and find what you like

Why doesn't my favorite game have a thread? Where do I talk about it?If it doesn't have a thread, make a quality Original Post (OP) and make one yourself! This would be in Game Discussion, and where you can talk about specific games. Make sure that if the game has yet to be released, wait until it comes out within the next week to post a thread about that game.

(So and So) was breaking a rule, what do I do?Don't try to handle this yourself. That is what our Moderators are for. If you see something consistly happening. Send a Private Message to one of our Moderators or Admins, and let them know what is going on. Please don't start a heated argument in the thread with name calling and whatnot. This hardly ever solves anything. This best course of action is to handle the issue privately.

[b]What are moderators?[/url]Moderators are members of the forums that have proven their love and dedication to the NoobToob community. They are given additional powers to lock, merge, and enforce rules in their respective board.

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 19:03:38 +1100Sir Beardy Stroke24376@/forum/discussionsIm new here, but been a noobtoob...well.. lurker i guess since ep64.

just wanted to know if the community is still going strong and are the celebs still around?

Locke, Jam, Sunflower, cow (and calf) Launcher and dozens more

Ive got a pretty nice video ive put together in honor of the (semi) return of Tobin/Yuzo. I know its probably only going to be once a year they return.

But its very rare you can watch episodes from a topical gaming show that are 3 years old and laugh your ass off.. Just like sitting with two buddies (that are Rembrandts of the "FWord" and dick analogies).

Let me know what section to post the video i made, and where i can find people (tags) to game with on Xbox Live; like i said im new to the forums.

Thu, 31 Jan 2013 07:58:37 +1100england9324339@/forum/discussionsWell about myself, I am more of a console gamer who mainly plays PS3 but will delve into Xbox every now and then and also play a couple of steam games fairly often too! I'm currently playing though a couple of games on my backlog from last year so mainly Assassins Creed III and Borderlands 2 right now (Preferring the latter greatly) and somewhat unfortunately got back into my old timesink of Dissidia Duodecim which I bought it in the sale for my Vita last week. I also enjoy anime, Photoshop (which I'm currently still learning the ropes of) and a slew of other things.

I am Currently doing a Computer Game Development course at college where at the moment I am making a Virtual 'Ghost Train' so I may be able to show some more stuff on that if I feel its good enough to share XD

Anyway I'm glad to be back and look forward to posting again! :D]]>Finally Back!http://noobtoob.com/forum/discussion/24317/finally-back
